thanks for all. my strategies for removing from 15 DN to 8 DN.
1. kill two DNs at same time. : NN will detect nodes' down and he will try to retain replication factors of lost blocks. 2. check your NN web UI. there is an info to let you know counts of under-replicated blocks. 3. if it is returned to 0 again, you can do remove other 2 DNs again. let's start from first again. this scenario is what I did. my cluster is working well. ;) thanks for all. 2013. 4. 3., 오후 5:18, Azuryy Yu <[email protected]> 작성: > not at all. so don't worry about that. > > > On Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 2:04 PM, Yanbo Liang <[email protected]> wrote: > It means that may be some replicas will be stay in under replica state? > > > 2013/4/3 Azuryy Yu <[email protected]> > bq. then namenode start to copy block replicates on DN-2 to another DN, > supposed DN-2. > > sorry for typo. > > Correct for it: > then namenode start to copy block replicates on DN-1 to another DN, supposed > DN-2. > > > On Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 9:51 AM, Azuryy Yu <[email protected]> wrote: > It's different. > If you just want to stop DN-1 a short time, just kill the DataNode process on > DN-1. then do what you want. during this time, Namenode cannot receive the > heart beat from DN-1, then namenode start to copy block replicates on DN-2 to > another DN, supposed DN-2. > > But when you start DN-1 again, Namenode receive the DN-1 registration, then > namenode stop to copy the DN-1's block replicates even if NN doesn't finish > coping. > > Am I explain clearly? > > > > On Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 9:43 AM, Henry Junyoung Kim <[email protected]> > wrote: > @Harsh > > What's the reasons to make big gaps for removing nodes between decommission > and just down nodes? > In my understanding, both are necessary to copy un-replicated blocks to > another alive nodes. > If main costs of them are this one, total elapsed time couldn't be big > different. > > Could you share some articles or documents to understand about > decommissioning procedures? > - explaining is always thanks ;) > > > 2013. 4. 2., 오후 5:37, Harsh J <[email protected]> 작성: > > > Yes, you can do the downtime work in steps of 2 DNs at a time, > > especially since you mentioned the total work would be only ~30mins at > > most. > > > > On Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 1:46 PM, Henry Junyoung Kim > > <[email protected]> wrote: > >> the rest of nodes to be alive has enough size to store. > >> > >> for this one that you've mentioned. > >>> its easier to do so in a rolling manner without need of a > >>> decommission. > >> > >> to check my understanding, just shutting down 2 of them and then 2 more > >> and then 2 more without decommissions. > >> > >> is this correct? > >> > >> > >> 2013. 4. 2., 오후 4:54, Harsh J <[email protected]> 작성: > >> > >>> Note though that its only possible to decommission 7 nodes at the same > >>> time and expect it to finish iff the remaining 8 nodes have adequate > >>> free space for the excess replicas. > >>> > >>> If you're just going to take them down for a short while (few mins > >>> each), its easier to do so in a rolling manner without need of a > >>> decommission.
